- Full disclosure!
The firm absolutely must disclose to me the rate the client is paying to them. If you are not willing to do this,
then don't waste my time. This is not negotiable.
- Rate: The
firm must not keep more than 30% (or so) of the rate the client pays them if W-2, and even less if 1099.
- US Firms Only. If
you are Consulting Firm that is not US based, then don't contact me, I will not work for you. I only work for US
based firms. If you can't speak English, then please don't call me.
- References: I
have them, and they are good, but I only provide references if you have an opportunity I am interested in pursuing.
I used to hand out references when asked, but those I use for references got called too many times, so I no longer
provide references on request. Please don't ask for references unless you have something I'm interested in pursuing.
- Payroll: The
firm must process payroll within 7 days of the end of a pay period.
- More Stuff: If
the firm complies with the above, they shouldn't have any problem paying me (as an example) $60/hour while billing
the client $80/hour. You would earn $20/hour or $160/day or $800/week or $3200/month. Subtract from that anything
that the law requires you pay on my behalf, like unemployment, workmans comp, social security, etc., and you still
profit a couple of thousand dollars a month. That's pretty good considering that all you did was find me the job
(plus you process payroll every other week or so) but I'm the one busting my butt day in and day out to generate
this income. I understand you have expenses, but I'm not going to bust my butt to pay your expenses. I do the work,
I keep the lions share of the money. If I have to work for my money, then so do you :)
